Beware of The Goodies

Alexander Mitchell, 50, a bricklayer from King’s
Lynn, Norfolk, died
laughing in March 1975, while watching the TV comedy, ‘The Goodies’. He had
recently eaten, and after 25 minutes of laughing on a full stomach his heart
failed while he was watching a fight between a set of bagpipes and a black
pudding.
